*********************************************

Question: * 2.5.8 / 2.7.8 (was 2.6.6). y inv with sqrt(x), y = 4 when x = 9.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution: Formulas is y =k/sqrt of x. You plug in to get: 4 = k/ sqrt 9. You have 4 = k/3. So k = 4 *3 = 12. Your equation will be y = 12/sqrt x.

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

* * The inverse proportionality to the square root gives us y = k / sqrt(x).

y = 4 when x = 9 gives us

4 = k / sqrt(9) or

4 = k / 3 so that

k = 4 * 3 = 12.

The equation is therefore

y = 12 / sqrt(x). **

Question: * 2.5.12 / 2.7.12 (was 2.6.10). z directly with sum of cube of x and square of y; z=1 and x=2 and y=3.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution: z = k(x^3 + y^2). You plug in to get: 1 = k (2^3 + 3^2). You have 1 = k(17). You have 17k =1. You divide by 17 to get k = 1/17. You plug into the formula: z = (x^3 + y^2)/17.

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

* * The proportionality is

z = k (x^3 + y^2).

If x = 2, y = 3 and z = 1 we have

1 = k ( 2^3 + 3^2) or

17 k = 1 so that

k = 1/17.

The proportionality is therefore

z = (x^3 + y^2) / 17. **

Question: * 2.5.20 / 2.7.20 (was 2.6.20). Period varies directly with sqrt(length), const 2 pi / sqrt(32)

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution: You plug in and your formulas is T= 2pi/sqrt 32 * sqrt of l

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

* * The equation is

T = k sqrt(L), with k = 2 pi / sqrt(32). So we have

T = 2 pi / sqrt(32) * sqrt(L). **

**** What equation relates period and length? ****

Question: * 2.5.42 / 2.7.42 (was 2.7.34 (was 2.6.30). Resistance dir with lgth inversely with sq of diam. 432 ft, 4 mm diam has res 1.24 ohms. **** What is the length of a wire with resistance 1.44 ohms and diameter 3 mm? Give the details of your solution.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution: We plug in to get 1.24 = k *432/4^2. You have k = 1.24 *4^2/432 = .046. You have: R = 1.44 and d =3. We find L = R *D^2/ (.046). This equals approximately 280.

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

* * We have

R = k * L / D^2. Substituting we obtain

1.24 = k * 432 / 4^2 so that

k = 1.24 * 4^2 / 432 = .046 approx.

Thus

R = .046 * L / D^2.

Now if R = 1.44 and d = 3 we find L as follows:

First solve the equation for L to get

L = R * D^2 / (.046). Then substitute to get

L = 1.44 * 3^2 / .046 = 280 approx.

The wire should be about 280 ft long. **
